Putting aside all the controversy, what you guys think of Cotto's chin? Did Cotto prove his chin isn't as fragile as many people thought or it's just that Clottey can't crack an egg?
Hes got a good chin, it's not granite. He gets hurt a lot and squares up for uppercuts and right hands but he shows good recuperative abilities.
His chin is alright...He certainly has durability issues but he is the kind of fighter you have to grind down. Bar a freak temple shot I dont see Miguel ever getting blown out early....but he will get stopped again one of these days.
He got hurt maybe once or twice from what I saw.. nothing that happend here changed my opinion of what I thought his chin was before the fight. It's dentable, but not crap.
He tooks about a m,illions upercut for Margo and manage to survive until he quits not ko cold or nothing like that so his chin is fine.
He needs a new real trainer that can teach his some defense. He did good in the later rounds but in the middle rounds he was getting hammered real bad.
hmm.. I never thought Cotto' chin was bad, I doubted his heart after the Margo fight but not his chin. He took some solid shots in the fight a while ago but he seemed to recover well.
I was thinking the same thing and wondering if he will find himself a new trainer after tonight...Not sure if a new trainer will help him with his defense though (bad habits are hard to abandon/change)
Floyd Sr. would improve Cotto alot, but I can't imagine watching someone as serious as Cotto with a crackhead like Floyd.
